I made goal!

I am happy to share that I made goal last week!  I acheived my 97 pound loss to reach 115 pounds in just 10 months.  I'm now one pound below goal at 114 lbs, and today bought a pair of jeans in a size 4.   I had no idea how difficult it would be to find a size 4!  Before losing the weight, I always had problems finding clothes big enough that were still stylish! Yippee! Staci

Staci- Truly truly wonderful!  I'm so happy for you...and you did it in less than one year.  That's awesome! CONGRATULATIONS! Cathy (any secrets that made you so successful?)

Congrat Staci!!!!!!!  I too find it very difficult to find clothes in a size 4, especially if youre trying to take advantage of clearance racks. I know that WalMart clothes are all BIG. I can't find a size 4 there that fits. JCPenny's size 4's run just about right for me....  and if you want to please the vanity in you go to Old Navy - at that store I'm blessing to wear their size 2 jeans!!! I call them my vanity jeans!!!!  Enjoy Shopping.  HUGS

Congrats Staci!  I'm so happy for you!

Wow Staci! Congratulations.  That is such awesome new and so inspiring!  Thank you so much for sharing!!! I look forward to having a hard time finding close in that small of size. YEAH!!!  Tonja

Congrats- thank you for being such an inspiration for someone that is just starting the process, I bet you feel great - enjoy, enjoy and enjoy!!! You deserve it.  A size 4, my gosh - my teenage daughter doesn't even wear a 4.  Good luck in your search!!! Brenda

My short term goal is just to be able to buy clothes in the regular girls dept , no the big girl section !!!!

I see that i forgot to say congratulations to you though , that is such a big acomplishment and it makes us all see that it is possible!!!!!

I am so happy for u! U did it U did it! Yippie!

Thank you everyone, you are all such true sweethearts.  I love to shop at Cato, and it's funny because I have gone from shopping on their plus side to the other side of the store and now they hardly have anything small enough to fit!  I never ever thought I would see this size again.  I realize I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase of the surgery, but I pray to God all the time to help me keep the weight off forever, and remain healthy! I don't really have any tricks to help with weight loss, it just has been coming off like crazy since my RNY last October.  I feel great, I have tons of confidence, I feel like a million bucks!  Now if I only had a million bucks! If you aren't at goal or near yet, trust me, you will be.  AND, sooner than you ever imagined! Thanks for the tip on Old Navy.  They have a bunch of cute jeans right now, and I'd love to say I wear a size 2 in anything!  I will also check out J C Penney.  It has always been a store I really like to shop in. :) Staci
